Beautiful 10-in-1 Electric Multi-Cooker Instructions
Prepare the cocoa mixture as directed above, then combine it with the remaining milk, cream, and chocolate chips in the cooking pot. Cover and select SLOW COOK. Set TEMP to LO and TIME to 02:00, then press the power button to begin. These controls apply to the 6-quart Beautiful 10-in-1 model.
Stir every 20–30 minutes with a silicone whisk or spatula, reaching across the bottom and around the sides. Begin checking after 1½ hours; continue until the chocolate is fully incorporated and the drink is hot. Stir in the vanilla when ready. Use KEEP WARM for serving, stirring occasionally. If it finishes before the timer ends, stop the cooking cycle and select KEEP WARM.
Substitutions: Use 2% milk instead of whole milk for a lighter result, or replace the heavy cream with half-and-half. Bittersweet chocolate chips can replace the semi-sweet chips for a less sweet chocolate flavor. Sweetened condensed milk cannot be replaced directly with evaporated milk.
Adjusting consistency: For a thinner drink, stir in additional warm milk, ¼ cup at a time.
Serving suggestions and pairings: Offer whipped cream, crushed peppermint, or chocolate shavings alongside the marshmallows. Serve with shortbread, gingerbread cookies, or biscotti.
Storage: Divide leftovers among smaller containers and refrigerate within 2 hours. Cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat individual portions in the microwave or warm gently in a saucepan, stirring frequently.
Freezing: Freeze without toppings in freezer-safe containers for up to 2 months, leaving room for expansion. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then reheat gently while whisking. Some separation may occur; whisk thoroughly to restore a smoother texture.
Equipment: Slow cooker with a capacity of at least 4 quarts, medium mixing bowl, small saucepan, silicone whisk, silicone spatula, measuring cups, measuring spoons, ladle, and mugs.
